brownfield land reclaimed

housing units – starts on site commissioned

housing units – completed

employment floorspace created

private-sector investment attracted.

In May 2006 we published a set of quality standards to be applied to all our projects and these are reported in the table below insofar as they relate to our output achievements over the past two years.

³Outputs achieved in previous years are reviewed for validation purposes. This has highlighted increased performance in 2005/2006 from that reported in previous Annual Reports. The figures have been restated above and reflect additional outputs over the two years as follows – brownfield land reclaimed (6 ha), housing starts on site commissioned (764 units), housing completions (118 units), employment floorspace (18,000 sq m) and private sector investment (£38m).
